BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES
Oil and Gas markets have recently shown explosive growth which many believe will continue over the next few years. Less noticed has been the development of the Electricity and Carbon Emissions Derivatives Markets.

This one day course provides a coherent overview of the Trading and Derivatives available on all the major Energy products.
